It very simple to use and it's open source. I wish it was also available for Linux. I have used this program for a long time as a resource to sale tutoring services.

I've used the desktop version for quite some time successfully. These settings seem to do pretty well in CamStudio's desktop version, so I suggest trying them in the portable version as well. Create your source video only using a region as large as you need don't automatically use full screen. Use the MSU Screen Capture Lossless Codec as it creates smaller files than the Techsmith Screen Capture Codec www.compression.ru/video/ls-codec/screen_capture_codec_en.html Video Options: Quality: 100% Keyframes Every: 100 frames Capture Frames Every: 100 milliseconds Playback Rate: 10 frames/second Audio Options For Microphone: PCM, 44KHz, 16Bit Mono (don't drop down to 22KHz as that's when audio/video desynch happens) When creating the SWF, I set the Playback and Keyframe Rate to 10 frames/sec with audio compression set to ADPCM ... Color mode: 16 bit I’ll try out the portable version. I’ve used the desktop version for quite some time successfully.

I tested w/ all kinds of compression. 1. microsoft video produces 28mb or the biggest size. 2. indio video 5.10 came in 2nd = 18mb 3. cinepak didn't work. error in encoding. 4. xvid didn't work. 5. ffshow codec produces only a black screen. 6. intel indio 4.5 produces 4.5 mb but video was lagging. 7. intel IYUV didn't work either. error in encoding. 8. Best was techsmith, which produces 4 - 8mb. Even recording full screen produces 8mb for less than 30sec. One thing I noticed is that with techsmith, the video was very fast. If you move your cursor quickly from one place to the other, it the audience will not be able to see where the cursor is going. It's like disappearing and then re-appearing. I had to move my cursor slowly so that during the recording, it doesn't look too fast for the viewer. cool little program. I tested w/ all kinds of compression.
